Yes, good idea, though I don't understand:
- Why can't ActiveState be persuaded to distribute every
module as a ppm?
- Additionally/alternatively: why can't we download ppm's directly from CPAN
(e.g. only for those modules which require compilation). It's so frustrating to search for a module, check if it
needs to be compiled and then still have to search for the
ppm.
(And I think that this functionality would improve
CPAN's usability)
Cheerio!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
